1.
Do not feel
absolutely certain of anything.
2.
Do not think it
worthwhile to proceed by concealing evidence, for the evidence is sure to come
to light.
3.
Never try to
discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
4.
When you meet with
opposition, even if it should be from your husband or your children endeavour
to overcome it by argument and not by authority.
5.
Have respect for
the authority of others, for there are always contrary authorities to be found.
6.
Do not use power
to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you do the opinions will
suppress you.
7.
Do not fear to be
eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.
8.
Find more pleasure
in intelligent dissent than in passive agreement, for, if you value
intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper agreement than the
latter.
9.
Be scrupulously
truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is more inconvenient when
you try to conceal it.
10.
Do not feel
envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool’s paradise, for only a fool
will think that it is happiness.
